Fine antique pair of cast bronze Marley Horses fashioned after Guillaume Coustou. In France, Louis XV commissioned Guillaume Coustou the Elder, a sculptor to create the famous pair of sculptures in Chateau de Marly’s park. , "The motion and dramatic moment captured in Coustou’s works along with their prominent iconic placement in Paris made the sculptures immensely popular, and throughout the nineteenth century, numerous versions were replicated in bronze and smelter on a smaller scale for Victorian homes." Also worth noting is that "The spirited horses and the men seeking to control them are a discourse on power that has appealed to various political figures throughout history, and the theme has been replicated frequently." () Each statue is ~8.5"Lx4"Wx11"H and weighs ~10.5 lbs.
